Scottish Executive

Council Tax

Alex Neil (Central Scotland) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive how much additional revenue would be raised if empty properties were subject to council tax payments.

Mr Tom McCabe: At 4 September 2006 there were 103,105 dwellings exempt from council tax liability, of which 44,339 were classed as unoccupied.

  Categories of unoccupied dwellings include new properties not yet occupied, dwellings under repair, dwellings with deceased owners, dwellings awaiting demolition etc.

  No information, however, is held centrally regarding what revenue would be generated should these properties be subject to council tax payments.

Council Tax

Alex Neil (Central Scotland) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive how much additional revenue would be raised if the council tax on second homes was paid in full with no discount.

Mr Tom McCabe: The additional revenue that would be raised if there was no second homes discount is estimated to be £5.2 million for 2006-07.

Ferry Services

Scott Barrie (Dunfermline West) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive what recent discussions it has had with Superfast Ferries regarding the future of the Rosyth to Zeebrugge ferry route.

Tavish Scott: The Scottish Executive has had no recent discussions with Superfast Ferries regarding the future of the Rosyth to Zeebrugge ferry route. Officials met Scottish Enterprise on 29 August 2006 following a Scottish Enterprise discussion with the Attica Group on 7 August 2006.

Finance

Tommy Sheridan (Glasgow) (Sol): To ask the Scottish Executive what plans it has to alleviate problems in the local government finance settlement which will affect local authorities’ ability to deliver frontline services as identified by Professor Arthur Midwinter in a briefing note for the Finance Committee on 12 September 2006.

Mr Tom McCabe: Professor Midwinter identified a number of issues in his briefing note for the Finance Committee none of which should adversely affect local authorities’ abilities to provide frontline services. There are a number of straightforward reasons why the 2007-08 figures are lower than those for 2006-07 and these have been discussed with Professor Midwinter. Resources from the local government finance settlement will have increased by almost £3 billion by the end of the current Spending Review period compared to 1999-2000.

Finance

Tommy Sheridan (Glasgow) (Sol): To ask the Scottish Executive, in light of the issues identified by Professor Arthur Midwinter in a briefing note for the Finance Committee on 12 September 2006, what plans it has to address any problems encountered by local authorities in providing frontline services without introducing above inflation council tax increases.

Mr Tom McCabe: Professor Midwinter identified a number of issues in his briefing note, none of which should result in above inflation council tax rises, although the setting of council tax levels is of course a matter for individual local authorities.

  There are a number of straightforward reasons why the figures for 2007-08 published in the Draft Budget 2007-08 are lower than those for 2006-07 and these have been discussed with Professor Midwinter.

  Resources from the local government finance settlement will have increased by almost £3 billion by the end of the current Spending Review period compared to 1999-2000. Council tax increases in 2006-07 were also on average the lowest since devolution.

Finance

Tommy Sheridan (Glasgow) (Sol): To ask the Scottish Executive what the reasons are for the fall in capital and revenue grants outwith aggregate external finance in 2007-08 by 27.5% and 9.25% respectively, identified by Professor Arthur Midwinter in a briefing note for the Finance Committee on 12 September 2006.

Mr Tom McCabe: Professor Midwinter had identified a year-to-year drop in the 2007-08 Draft Budget of £200 million in the level of grants from the Executive to local government. These grants are provided by various Executive Departments and are outwith the core local government finance settlement. There are a number of reasons why the 2007-08 figures are lower than those for 2006-07. For example, some grants are demand-led; some are money transfers to the core settlement, and in a number of cases funding for 2007-08 had not been confirmed and announced at the time the figures were compiled. As a result, while the published draft budget figures included funding that had been confirmed and announced at the time they figures were compiled, they do not represent a final position.

Alex Neil (Central Scotland) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S2W-28167 by Mr Tom McCabe on 20 September 2006, on what issues the Relocation Advisory Service offers advice.

Mr Tom McCabe: The advice which the Relocation Advisory Service (RAS) offers covers all aspects of living, working, studying and doing business in Scotland, including how to find a job, the immigration and work permits process, finding accommodation, accessing education, health care, how to be self-employed, etc. In addition, RAS can offer businesses advice on employing students and workers, from both the EU and outwith the EU. RAS will attempt to help with any enquiry from anyone interested in living, working and studying in Scotland.

Fresh Talent Initiative

Alex Neil (Central Scotland) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S2W-28167 by Mr Tom McCabe on 20 September 2006, how the existence of the Relocation Advisory Service has been publicised.

Mr Tom McCabe: The Relocation Advisory Service (RAS) has been marketed to international audiences both overseas and in Scotland, including to careers services. RAS leaflets and materials carrying contact details for RAS and the URL www.scotlandistheplace.com, which contains more information about relocating to Scotland, have been circulated at education exhibitions and workers fairs worldwide, including China, Canada, USA, India and Poland. This URL appears on the majority of the Executive’s materials circulated to an overseas audience. We have also worked with partners, including the FCO, UKVisas and British Council Scotland to promote RAS services. In addition, RAS has promoted its services to businesses in Scotland via the production of a newsletter and by partnering various events run by business organisations.

Fresh Talent Initiative

Alex Neil (Central Scotland) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S2W-28167 by Mr Tom McCabe on 20 September 2006, what the total expenditure has been on the Relocation Advisory Service.

Mr Tom McCabe: With regard to the following costs; the initial start up phase of the Relocation Advisory Service incurred some one-off set-up costs, and there are on-going costs relating to the day to day provision of the service:

  One-Off Costs

  Developing the software for the Relocation Advisory Service to support delivery of the service by face to face meeting, phone and email

  Developing the information packs to support provision of the service (e.g. information on all aspects of living and working in Scotland)

  Developing the staff training manuals

  On-Going Costs

  Staff costs

  Support and maintenance of the software

  Use of Language Line to enable simultaneous translation of customer enquiries

  Use of NARIC to match international qualifications to UK equivalent.

  The higher costs in the first years reflect the inclusion of these one-off costs.

  2004-05 = £504,676.95

  2005-06 = £300,577.85

  2006- end of September 2006 = £135,922.09.

Fresh Talent Initiative

Alex Neil (Central Scotland) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S2W-28167 by Mr Tom McCabe on 20 September 2006, who is responsible for running the Relocation Advisory Service.

Mr Tom McCabe: The Relocation Advisory Service is located within the Finance and Central Services Department of the Scottish Executive and as such is the responsibility of Scottish ministers.

Fresh Talent Initiative

Alex Neil (Central Scotland) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S2W-28167 by Mr Tom McCabe on 20 September 2006, how many people are employed by the Relocation Advisory Service.

Mr Tom McCabe: At the time of its launch in late October 2005, the Relocation Advisory Service had six people, including two immigration specialists seconded from the Home Office and Immigration Advisory Service.

  The staff numbers in the Relocation Advisory Service have increased since the initial launch to incorporate a business unit which provides information and advice to Scottish employers. An additional 2.5 staff have been recruited/seconded to the business unit (including a full-time secondee from Scottish Enterprise and a part-time secondee in partnership with Highlands and Islands Enterprise). This means that the Relocation Advisory Service currently has 8.5 members of staff.

Fuel Poverty

Scott Barrie (Dunfermline West) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive how many households are estimated to be living in fuel poverty as a result of gas and electricity price rises since 2003, in light of Communities Scotland’s estimate that 30,000 households go into fuel poverty for every 5% increase in energy prices.

Malcolm Chisholm: The most recent estimates for the whole population are contained in the Scottish House Condition Survey (SCHS) 2003 -04. It indicates that around 328,000 households (14.5%) were in fuel poverty. This does not represent a statistically significant change from the 286,000 (13%) estimation for 2002. More up to date estimates will be sought from the SHCS 2004-05 data which is due to be published early 2007.

Fuel Poverty

Scott Barrie (Dunfermline West) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive how many households with children under five are estimated to be living in fuel poverty as a result of gas and electricity price rises since 2003, in light of Communities Scotland’s estimate that 30,000 households go into fuel poverty for every 5% increase in energy prices.

Malcolm Chisholm: The Scottish House Condition Survey (SCHS) estimates that in 2002 there were around 9,000 households with children under the age of five in fuel poverty. This is the most recent figure available for this group. More up to date estimates will be sought from the SHCS 2004-05 data which is due to be published early 2007.

Fuel Poverty

Scott Barrie (Dunfermline West) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive how many lone parent households are estimated to be living in fuel poverty as a result of gas and electricity price rises since 2003, in light of Communities Scotland’s estimate that 30,000 households go into fuel poverty for every 5% increase in energy prices.

Malcolm Chisholm: The Scottish House Condition Survey (SCHS) estimates that, in 2002, there were around 9,000 lone parent households in fuel poverty. This is the most recent figure available for this group. More up to date estimates will be sought from the SHCS 2004-05 data which is due to be published early 2007.

Higher Education

Fiona Hyslop (Lothians) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive what steps it will take to improve graduate retention in Scotland.

Nicol Stephen: Scotland already has high levels of graduate retention and these have been increasing in recent years.

  The most recent data on graduate destinations from Scottish higher education institutions and colleges show that 80 per cent of graduates going into permanent employment following graduation in 2004-05 gained employment in Scotland. This compares to 75 per cent for 1999-00 graduates. The same data show that 91 per cent of the Scots-domiciled 2003-04 graduates in permanent employment were employed in Scotland. This compares to 82 per cent in 1999-2000.

  These figures demonstrate that there is already significant demand for graduates within the Scottish labour market and that graduates from our institutions are successfully gaining employment in Scotland.

Higher Education

Fiona Hyslop (Lothians) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive what percentage of graduates from Scottish higher education institutions gained employment in Scotland as a first destination in each year since 1999-2000.

Nicol Stephen: Percentage of graduates gaining permanent employment in Scotland as their first destination in relation to the total number of graduates that gain permanent employment in the UK or overseas: 1999-2000 to 2004-05

Housing

Mr David Davidson (North East Scotland) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive how many households in Aberdeen receive housing benefit.

Malcolm Chisholm: The most recent figure for the number of recipients of housing benefit is published in Table 3 of the Scottish Executive Statistical Bulletin (Housing Series)  Housing trends in Scotland: quarter ending 31 March. 2006 (HSG/2006/5). This is available on-line in the publications section of the housing statistics branch reference site:

Justice

Irene Oldfather (Cunninghame South) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive what discussions it has had with the Home Office on developing proposals to prevent convicted criminals profiting from writing about their crimes.

Cathy Jamieson: The Scottish Executive and Home Office are liaising on proposals to prevent criminals from profiting from published accounts of their crimes. The aim is to submit a joint consultation paper during 2006. Depending on the outcome of the consultation, consideration will be given to amending Proceeds of Crime legislation.

Ministerial Visits

Christine Grahame (South of Scotland) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive how many ministerial visits to the Scottish Borders are (a) scheduled and (b) under consideration to take place prior to the 2007 dissolution of the Parliament by the (i) Deputy First Minister and Minister for Enterprise and Lifelong Learning, (ii) Deputy Minister for Education and Young People, (iii) Minister for Environment and Rural Development, (iv) Deputy Minister for Finance and Public Service Reform and Deputy Minister for Parliamentary Business and (v) Minister for Transport.

Mr Tom McCabe: The information requested is not held in this format. Ministerial diaries retain a record of engagements carried out. We cannot provide an accurate picture for forthcoming events, as planned or scheduled ministerial visits are subject to constant change, often at short notice, because of changing parliamentary commitments.

Ministerial Visits

Christine Grahame (South of Scotland) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive how many ministerial visits to the Scottish Borders have been made in each year since 1999 by (a) Robert Brown MSP, (b) Ross Finnie MSP, (c) George Lyon MSP, (d) Euan Robson MSP, (e) Tavish Scott MSP, (f) Iain Smith MSP, (g) Nicol Stephen MSP and Jim Wallace MSP.

Mr Tom McCabe: The information requested is shown in the following table. The information identified in the table has been gathered from the various Ministerial Private Offices and is as complete as our records allow. Different Private Offices record and retain information in different ways, which is perfectly acceptable for our business purposes, but does not allow us to easily extract the information requested.

Prison Service

Brian Adam (Aberdeen North) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive what liaison procedures are in place to co-ordinate work between prison officers, addiction nurses and drug workers in prisons.

Cathy Jamieson: I have asked Tony Cameron, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service to respond. His response is as follows:

  An Integrated Case Management system, multidisciplinary meetings, case conferences and community integration plans allow the liaison and co-ordination between all staff groups involved in the rehabilitation and management of offenders with substance misuse problems. These activities are managed by addiction co-ordinators in each establishment.

Prison Service

Stewart Stevenson (Banff and Buchan) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive what assessment or research has been undertaken in relation to drug deaths among recently released prisoners.

Cathy Jamieson: I have asked Tony Cameron, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service to respond. His response is as follows:

  The Scottish Executive published The National Investigation into Drug Related Deaths in Scotland 2003 in August 2005. This research resulted in Taking Action to Reduce Scotland’s Drug Related Death published in December 2005 by the Scottish Executive.

  Drug related deaths, after release from prison, are now reviewed regularly by the Scottish Prison Service in partnership with the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency.

Private Finance Initiative

Stewart Stevenson (Banff and Buchan) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S2W-2707 by Mr Andy Kerr on 1 October 2003, how much it expects to spend under each PFI/PPP scheme listed in each of the next 25 years and any schemes subsequently approved.

Mr Tom McCabe: An estimate of the amount of the unitary charge in each of the next 25 years for PPP projects that are either operational or have reached financial close is shown in the following tables. The unitary charge is the amount paid by the public sector procuring body to the private sector consortium for the services it provides over the length of the contract. The services include capital construction, lifecycle maintenance and facilities management, and not just the upfront construction cost of the asset.

  The unitary charge figures provided relate to the full cost of the PPP projects and not just the cost borne by the Scottish Executive. Where the PPP project is the Executive’s own project, the Executive will bear the full cost of the unitary charge. Where the PPP project is that of another public body, the Executive may provide funding towards the unitary charge.

  Notes:

  1. In health some of the smaller projects have been grouped together.

  2. Information on the unitary charge for Kilmarnock Prison is available in the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) Annual Reports which can be found at http://www.sps.gov.uk/Default.asp?menuid=230.

  The estimated unitary charge for Addiewell Prison is currently commercial in confidence and SPS is unable to provide this.

  3. The M77/GSO is a joint project between the Executive, East Renfrewshire and South Lanarkshire Councils.

Road Safety

Rosie Kane (Glasgow) (SSP): To ask the Scottish Executive whether, under section 20(9) and (10) of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988, as amended by the Road Traffic Act 1991, devices employed by police forces in Scotland in the measurement or recording of vehicle speed are of a model type specifically described as approved in a UK statutory instrument which has been subject to negative procedure.

Cathy Jamieson: Not all speed measuring equipment used by the police requires statutory approval and the decision as to the equipment deployed within each force area is an operational matter for the Chief Constable.

  Where the police wish to rely in court on evidence from speed meters, the devices used must be of a generic nature prescribed in a statutory instrument which has been subject to the negative resolution procedure in the UK parliament. In addition each specific example of a generic type is subject to a separate type approval order made by UK ministers. These orders, which are not subject to parliamentary approval, are granted on individual makes of device sold by different manufacturers. Before approval is granted in any individual case, the equipment is subject to testing to ensure that it is technically reliable and robust, can produce accurate readings under a variety of conditions and is operationally practical.

Sex Offenders

Margaret Mitchell (Central Scotland) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive how many people on the sex offenders’ register or required under any order to report their whereabouts to police on a regular basis since 1999 have failed to do so and, of these, how many are still unaccounted for.

Cathy Jamieson: The Executive does not routinely collate the information requested. Details of sex offenders and the requirements or restrictions imposed on these individuals by the courts, are held by the Scottish Police Service and associated criminal justice partners. However, a recent specific exercise involving the police showed that as at 6 October 2006, 24 individuals are unaccounted for, of whom intelligence suggests 12 are overseas. All these offenders are currently the subject of proactive policing efforts to locate them.

Sex Offenders

Margaret Mitchell (Central Scotland) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will provide the names of the 24 individuals on the sex offenders’ register whose whereabouts are unknown and list the offences to which they were found guilty of committing.

Cathy Jamieson: The information requested is not held centrally. Disclosure of information about sex offenders is best undertaken on a case by case basis and will be considered by the police, in consultation with other agencies, as part of their public protection responsibilities.
